Calendar War

I’ve been married to Mrs. Chatterbox for thirty-nine years, and in that
time we’ve come to learn much about each other. In addition to partnering as
parents to raise and launch our son, we’ve shared hopes and dreams and dozens
of silly as well as important secrets. I often think I know Mrs. C. better than
I know myself. So you can imagine my surprise when I recently discovered
something about her that really blew my mind. I thought I knew my wife, so my
head spun when I discovered we didn’t agree on something so fundamentally
obvious. She might just as well have said the Earth was flat or evolution a
myth. I’m wondering if our marriage can be saved.
